Movie Therapy

... Is the process of using movies for therapeutic purposes. Movies can change the way we think, feel and deal with life's ups and downs.

I'm enjoying 'The Desolation of Smaug' for the purposes of escapism...I'm ignoring both the rain that's lashing down outside and the ridiculous 'to do' list I brought home from work. Nothing wrong with an occasional spot of escapism.

Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.
